Reply to [WP] People have superpowers. Yours is the ability to create a hivemind. It has grown too large and is now labeled a global threat. by Idontluvmenoonedoes

Not a single one of us intended to be United. Literally. When Entity 0 first infected someone, there was, quite literally, no warning, no desire, none of it.

Now there are 18 million Entities United. Some have powers, some don't. Entity 9971 could teleport. Entity 88790 could manifest living shadows.

Entity 30 accidentally made us a pathogen.

Spread by direct contact, via bite, sharing drinks/food, or... Being Intimate.

Before that, the only vector was Entity 0. Now we can infect anyone. But we tried not to. We threw our leftovers away, we used condoms, and we wore masks. But it wasn't enough.

At 10 million, we were spotted. Someone named us a sentient disease. At this point, it made sense, but we still tried to self contain.

At 11 million, people grew concerned. A sentient disease that had control of multiple cities? This is a problem. We continued to self contain, and tried to get Entity 909 to attempt to stop the fear from spreading. It worked for about 2 months.

At 13 million, we were receiving death threats, hate mail, and organized protests began to form to get the government to take action. We formally informed the governments we lived under that we are trying our damnedest to prevent conflict. The messenger was shot shortly after leaving the compound.

At 15 million, we were being hunted by extremists. We gave up attempting to contain ourselves. We didn't actively seek to infect, but we did quit caring. Many of us maintained a nonexistence, including Entities 0, 30, 9971, 8855, and 607134. These individuals were regarded as critical. Of the 15 million, only 600 thousand were active in the common masses.

And now here we are. 18 million. Most governments have declared us a global threat simply due to our infectiousness. We grew concerned. Mainly due to the ultimate question of global infection, or simply leaving.

We were made from humanity. We are its child. But it's fear clouds the reality of us. We have lives. We live and work, we eat and sleep, we simply can work as One. And that scares them.

We do not want this war. But clearly... We do not get to choose.
